november challenge

i received such benefit from my 30-day online food journal that i was wondering if i could do somcthing similar for novemeber. Something that i stay accountable about on here. Some of my ideas are...

• a goal for a certain amount of pounds lost during the month
• a goal for a certain number of nights i don't eat anything after 9pm

Also, i was thinking that it would really help to have some incentive. I've been stuck at the same weight for quite awhile, and it would help to have something to reach for that would help me get some momentum again. I was thinking that i could con you to offer me rewards if i do certain things. (I find external rewards more motivating.) What could a reward be? Well, an mp3 player and a digital camera are 2 things that i want strongly enough that i would "work" for them.

Those are some of my thoughts. I intend to come up with a plan by monday. please leave me comments if you have any ideas, or if you want to participate in the "incentive program," lol.

peace

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 6

Kathie P offered me one of her digital cameras she doesn't need in return for...

• receiving her email each day telling me what she ate the day before
• me not eating after 9pm for 10 days out of the next 30.

Now i'm looking for someone who would be willing to reward me with an mp3 player if I lose 5 pounds during the next 4 weeks.... Got one??

I will post here each day if i ate after 9 or not. I will post every monday what my weight is.
